Changing attitudes to cannabis around the world – by country

A little research on Google just blew me away – we have a worldwide movement on our hands here. It’s not just the US and Uruguay! Check out what’s been happening around the globe – country names link to further information:

“The documents, released ahead of Friday’s legalization conference, reveal the council is proposing a 3-year trial to decrease gang crime and provide a better life for marijuana users, The Copenhagen Post reported.”

“Sources cited the fragile security situation and the government’s inability to provide decent compensation to the farmers as reasons behind a decision to postpone cannabis field destruction sprees for the time being.”

“The Moroccan parliament has held a hearing into the industrial and medical benefits of marijuana use. The discussions, started by one of Morocco’s main political parties are the first steps to introduce a draft law next year aimed at legalizing the plant.”

“We must open the debate with Carmen Masias, the President of DEVIDA, and the Peruvian Medical School. Let’s open a forum that deals, first and foremost, with the health issues and secondly with safety and the implications of its [marijuana] use.”

“Minister of Indigenous medicine Salinda Dissanayake told the Sunday Leader last week marijuana can be used for medicinal purposes and hence the ban on the substance should be lifted. The comments come fresh on the heels of a decision by Uruguay to legalize the substance from 2014.”
